The most important thing here is that the government will stick to its policy of no ransom payments, ... There will be no negotiation or ransom with these kidnappers. By doing that we believe we will stop their motivation from some groups there in the south to do the same thing.

It takes time, it takes manpower, it takes aircraft, ships, to verify this. That's why we are calling on all citizens to help the government, to help the military, to help the police in providing information.
